As many families sat down to dinner on Thanksgiving, others began to queue around the block of department stores in preparation for Black Friday sales.
Each year, Black Friday seems to become increasingly popular, and the preparation for one of the largest sales of the year keeps beginning earlier. This year was no different, with thousands of shoppers choosing to spend their holiday camped out around department stores as many retailers opened their doors on the day of Thanksgiving.
